Make a Windows 7 system repair disc
Windows 7 seems great at first, but what if something should go wrong. Hard drives do crash! It's not pleasant, but you should think about what you'd do in a data disaster. You need some sort of protection. And
Windows 7 makes it easy to create what it calls a System Repair Disc.
Click the Windows button aka "Start."
Type "System repair" in the search box.
Then choose Create a System Repair Disc.
Put in a blank CD or DVD and choose the correct drive from the drop-down.
Press Create Disc.
And let Win 7 do the rest.
Now you're protected.

- i just tried this with the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade and using a blank CD, i get this: "The selected Disc cannot be used. The selected disc does not contain a valid Windows installation. Do You want to try a different disc?" When i cancel it says "A system repair disc cannot be created without a Windows installation disc". That is odd...
